23 (a) (b) Proposed Apartment Building - 239-241 Germain Street-
Heritaoe Area
Consideration was given to a letter from Councillor Teed and a report
from the City Manager on the issue of a proposed apartment building at 239-241
Germain Street which does not conform to the Preservation Heritage By-law.
Mr. Teed commented on the reason for the building being planned for
seven stories instead of five, which is the limit imposed by the By-law, as not being
economically viable with only five stories, as the developer plans to install an elevator
which adds to the costs.
Mr. Baird advised Council that in order for the proposal to proceed there
would have to be an amendment to the By-law, the project would have to be advertised
and a public hearing held with April 19th being the earliest date for the hearing.
On motion of Councillor Teed
Seconded by Councillor Court
RESOLVED that the issue of the proposed
apartment building at 239-241 Germain Street be referred to the City Manager to report
on criteria required by the Heritage Preservation By-law and on possible amendments to
the by-law which could enable this development to take place.
Question being taken, the motion was carried.

du directeur general relativement a la question d'un projet d'immeuble d'habitation situe
au 239-241, rue Germain qui n'est pas conforme a I'arrete relatif a la protection du
patrimoine.
M. Teed indique que I'immeuble projete comprend sept etages plutot que
cinq, la limite imposee par I'arrete, parce qu'un immeuble de cinq etages n'est pas viable
au point de vue economie puisque Ie promoteur prevoit installer un ascenseur,
augmentant ainsi les couts.
M. Baird declare au conseil qu'avant que la proposition ne so it
consideree, une modification do it etre apportee a I'arrete, Ie projet doit faire I'objet de la

COMMON COUNCIUREUNION DU CONS ElL
MARCH 1, 2004/1 MARS, 2004
8{b) Report from the PlanninQ Advisory Committee
Consideration was given to a report from the Planning Advisory
Committee submitting a copy of Planning staff's report and other correspondence
considered at its February 24, 2004 meeting at which the Committee decided to
recommend approval of the proposal as set out in the staff recommendation; and
recommending that Common Council amend The City of Saint John Zoning By-law as
described above with Section 39 conditions.
The Mayor called for members of the public to speak against the
re-zoning with the following presenters:
Bernie McCarthy, 168 King Street East spoke against the re-zoning on
behalf of the East Saint John Asphalt Group, by citing environmental concerns,
particularly that a stack analysis has not been completed by the Department of the
Environment; the location being too close to a school, the Carpenters' Training School;
and that according to his information the unit approved to be on site is not the one being
used.
Peter J.C. White, Solicitor for the same Citizens' group opposed to the
location for the Asphalt Plant being proposed for re-zoning, appeared to call attention to
the citizens' concerns over their fear of increased traffic which according to them is a
heavy traffic area, and environmental concerns.
Joanne Campbell, 44 Northumberland Avenue spoke against the
re-zoning citing air quality as a concern in an area designated for shopping and
apartment buildings, and the potential for a decrease in the value of homes in the area
because of the plant.
Discussion followed with Councillors calling attention to the Planning
Advisory Report and conditions to be imposed in the re-zoning which will address
environmental testing at the site as well as the use of the appropriate unit referred to
above.
The Mayor called for members of the public to speak in favor of the
re-zoning with the following presenters:
John Bedell, Park Hill Drive, Forest Hills advised Council that he can see
the plant from his home and he has seen what appears to be a steam emission and has
not experienced any odors or traffic delays because of the plant.
Stella Getchell, 20 Walsh Road, advised Council that she works in
Parkway Mall and lives in the area of the plant with her family, and has not experienced
any noise or odors from the plant.
Rick Turner, Hughes Surveys and Consultants Inc, spoke in favor of the
re-zoning on behalf of the developer, and referring to the Planning Advisory Committee
report advised that he understands the conditions in the report and is in agreement with
them. He also made the following observations: that the operation has been operating
under temporary permit with an excellent track record; that since the permit expired in
November, 2003, the plant has not been in operation; that there was an effort made to
have the stack testing performed before November, 2003, but because of the impending
expiration of the permit the company was not able to meet this requirement; and that the
location is an industrial area with direct access to the highway. Mr. Turner also advised
that the East End Business Association has expressed its support of the plant.
Reginald Therriault spoke in favor of the re-zoning advising that he lives
directly across from the plant and has not experienced any negative impact because of
the plant's operation.
Rex Curry spoke in favor of the re-zoning noting that he often drives by
the location and does not believe there is any negative impact created by the plant.

Le maire invite Ie public a venir exprimer son opposition au projet de

Bernie McCarthy, residant au 168, rue King Est, s'oppose au rezonage au
nom de East Saint John Asphalt Group, en citant des preoccupations
environnementales, dont principalement I'analyse de la cheminee non terminee par Ie
ministere de l'Environnement; I'endroit etant situe trop pres de I'ecole Carpenter's
Training School et, que selon ses renseignements, I'installation approuvee qui doit se
trouver sur Ie terrain n'est pas celie qui est utilisee.
Peter J. C. White, avocat du meme groupe de citoyens opposes a
I'emplacement de I'usine de bitume propose dans un but de rezonage, souligne les
90-434
COMMON COUNCIUREUNION DU CONS ElL
MARCH 1, 2004/1 MARS, 2004
inquietudes des citoyens quant a I'augmentation de la circulation, car, selon eux, ce
terrain est situe dans une zone de circulation intense. Des preoccupations
environnementales viennent se greffer a cette preoccupation.
Joanne Campbell, residant au 44, avenue Northumberland, s'oppose au
rezonage en raison de la preoccupation concernant la qualite de I'air dans une zone
designee pour Ie magasinage et les immeubles d'habitation et de la possibilite que la
valeur des maisons decroisse dans ce secteur, vu I'implantation de I'usine.
Les conseillers discutent ensuite de la question et soulignent que Ie
rapport du Comite consultatif d'urbanisme et les conditions qui doivent etre imposees
dans Ie rezonage porteront sur les essais environnementaux effectues a I'emplacement,
ainsi que sur I'utilisation du terrain susmentionne.
Le maire invite Ie public a venir exprimer son appui au projet de
rezonage, les personnes suivantes ayant pris la parole.
John Bedell, residant sur la promenade Park Hill, a Forest Hills, informe
Ie conseil qu'il est possible de voir I'usine de chez lui et qu'illui a semble apercevoir un
echappement de vapeur, mais qu'il n'a pas ete incommode par les odeurs ou par les
retards causes par la circulation en raison de I'usine.
Stella Getchell, dont Ie domicile est situe au 20, rue Walsh, informe Ie
conseil qu'elle travaille au Parkway Mall, qu'elle vit dans Ie secteur de I'usine avec sa
famille et qu'elle n'a pas ete incommodee par Ie bruit ou les odeurs de I'usine.
Rick Turner, de Hughes Surveys and Consultants Inc., se dit en faveur du
rezonage au nom du promoteur et, en se referant au rapport du Comite consultatif
d'urbanisme, affirme qu'il comprend les conditions du rapport et qu'illes accepte. II a
egalement fait les observations suivantes : que I'etablissement a ete exploite en vertu
d'un permis temporaire accompagne d'excellents antecedents; que I'usine n'a pas
fonctionne depuis que Ie permis est expire en novembre 2003; qu'il y a eu des efforts
deployes pour que I'on procede a une verification de la cheminee avant cette date, mais
qu'en raison de I'expiration imminente du permis, I'entreprise n'a pu se conformer aux
exigences, et que I'emplacement est un secteur industriel ayant un acces direct a
I'autoroute. M. Turner affirme egalement que la East End Business Association
manifeste son appui a I'usine.
Reginald Therriault se dit en faveur du rezonage, affirmant qu'il demeure
directement en face de I'usine et qu'il n'a subi aucune incidence negative en raison de
I'exploitation de I'usine.
Rex Curry est en faveur du rezonage, notant qu'il se promene souvent en
voiture pres de I'emplacement et qu'il ne croit pas que I'usine ait une incidence negative
quelconque.
